Didn't know you were into cloning Graham 😉Know the feeling, my workshop is also overflowing so Graf Spee now resides on a glass shelf above the dining table and the PTB in the bookshelf 😁BTW: the fishing boat I inherited from my aunt, and thought was from Kent cos we all hail from East Kent, most of us from Folkestone (my H class destroyer HMS Hotspur absolved her Sea Trials on Radnor Park pond around 1966) turned out to be a Billings kit of a Danish fish cutter based in Ebsjerg Denmark! No idea how Aunty got hold of it😉Good luck with fleabay👍 Cheers,Doug 😎

Hot tub trial - Posted: 25th May 2018

So everything is finished (maybe a little more detail but trying to stay away from the rust!!)
First check in the hot tub and I’m pleased

Could resist a quick check to see how she looks! The real Emily is happy with daddy’s work!!

Deck - Posted: 13th May 2018

I’ve fitted the deck and painted. I have also painted the internal shelves for the electrics and added my name and build details to one of the deck beams! The deck is not glued down yet. I have used plastic board and painted with a tile paint to seal.

New winch - Posted: 29th Apr 2018

I was intending to use a winch from a previous model however I had a spare couple of hours and it was raining so I made a new one! Will add the warps which will hide the bright drums so no need to rust!!
